Hi, come in!

Sit yourself down and kick off your flip-flops. Welcome to my website. I’m a writer, an illustrator and a beach person.

Let's Get Inspired

Sandy Gingras’s novel PARADISE GIRLS to be published Summer 2022

A jilted home magazine writer and a broken-hearted fisherman (and his three-legged dog, Tripod) find love in The Low Key Inn–a down-on-its-luck hotel in the Everglades.

“This is the book your heart needs.”

Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“A deeply human, touching, and beautiful novel.”

Abbi Waxman, author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

“A heavenly book, wise and funny, surprising, realistic, and a joy to read from the first page to the last. I recommend this book, heart and soul!"

Nancy Thayer, New York Times–bestselling author of Family Reunion

A little more about me

I live on an island six miles out to sea, and I think, no, I know, I’ve got salt water in my soul.
